This paddling group is focused on flatwater paddling in the central and north New Jersey locations (lakes, bays, reservoirs). Most of the events will be on weekdays with some occasional weekend events. The events will typically be 2-3 hours in duration. Note: Although the event duration is relatively short, I don't recommend these events for someone that is new to paddling. You don't need to be an expert paddler but you should feel comfortable paddling continuously for 30 minutes and be comfortable in deep water.
The chosen locations will typically be places that have rentals available so you generally don't need to own a kayak/paddleboard. This will not be the case in the fall.
IMPORTANT: This is a volunteer group that periodically hosts events where members meet in person. The group is NOT a substitute for competent, professional paddling instruction from a professional. The events are not intended to be instructional for someone that is new to paddling.
Water sports can pose dangers in any environment including calm, flat water. Any and all consequences as a result of participating in the Meetup activity, including but not limited to personal injury and property damage or loss are an accepted risk to the participant.
BY JOINING AND PARTICIPATING WITH THIS GROUP YOU ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR SAFETY, BELONGINGS AND WELL-BEING.
